The Palm Beach County School Board on Wednesday afternoon will consider firing two of three teachers who were notified last month of impeding termination.

Superintendent Dr. Robert Avossa had "notice of recommendation for termination of employment" letters hand-delivered to three educators nearly a year after students and parents filed initial complaints.

According to a district spokeswoman, one of the three teachers has since resigned.

School board documents show that reports about Edwardo Zamora were filed in May 2015 with school police.

Students in Zamora's drama class accused him of "groping, touching, biting and sexual jokes."

The document says some students also accused Zamora of making "inappropriate advances" during times when they were alone with him.

Zamora was the subject of a professional standards investigation that same month in the wake of allegations.

The investigator said Zamora maintained that the only time he was close with students was during dress rehearsals.

Complaints against Landstrom for the 2014-15 school year resulted in a professional standards investigation last fall.

Documents show that Landstrom faces allegations including the use of offensive language during lessons and sexism in class.

Landstrom was issued a written reprimand in April 2014 for ethics violations and improprieties in student grading.

Julian Harrell

The distric launched a professional standards investigation in late September into allegations of inappropriate interaction between Harrell and students, which were first brought to light at the end of the 2014-15 school year.

Investigators said students accused Harrell of inappropriate name calling, pulling students' hair and clothing and throwing one student to the floor.

A school district spokeswoman said Harrell has since resigned, but she didn't know the exact date.

Avossa notified all three teachers last month that he planned to recommend, "suspension without pay and termination of employment at the Wednesday, April 6, 2016, school board special meeting."
